Michel Foucault Quotes
The appearance in nineteenth-century psychiatry, jurisprudence, and literature of a whole series of discourses on the species and subspecies of homosexuality, inversion, pederasty, and "psychic hermaphroditism" made possible a strong advance of social controls into this area of "perversity"; but it also made possible the formation of a "reverse" discourse: homosexuality began to speak in its own behalf, to demand that its legitimacy or "naturality" be acknowledged, often in the same vocabulary, using the same categories by which it was medically disqualified.

My favorite teammate of all time was Dan Reeves. Dan and I roomed together for four years. Dan's probably one of my best friends. I can understand him. He's from Americus, Ga., got that old, slow, southern drawl stuff. Dan's a great guy. Great competitor. He probably taught me more about football than any of the coaches did. He was still a student of the game. When you go from college to the pros, college football, yeah, you've got a playbook, but it ain't that big. Well when you get in the pros, you've got a playbook that's pretty thick. I was lost, really. But he showed me what to study and how to study.

Plato
